RIP Tiara Wheeler

My heart goes out to Tyson and his family. It sounds like his daughter was a wonderful young woman who had her whole life ahead of her. What a sad and tragic story.

In the postgame, Rothstein mentioned how this is only Archie’s first year, but a few tweaks to the roster and he’ll have us top of the conference just like when he was at Dayton.

Also mentioned how he saw Stewart at a practice earlier this season and was impressed with his game.

No disrespect intended, but does it really matter if none of these guys came back?? They were part of a team that went 15-16 (5-12 in conference) and collectively had a terrible basketball IQ. We can do better, and with Miller at the helm I have no doubt that we will. On to bigger and better things!
